I am looking for either a Lunar Racer 2 in a size 12 or another shoe that has the SAME exact midsole as the Lunar Racer 2. Is anyone willing to part with a pair or have any suggestions for a shoe that is in current production?

I am able to find websites that sell the lunaracer 2, but not in a size 12. Are there any other shoes that have the same midsole?
Nike has a new shoe that uses a virtually identical midsole that is slightly firmer. It's called Lunar MTRL. Some sights have it listed as Lunar Montreal.
ha, you can have mine....prob only 50mi on them too. only prob is, they're in abq, and i'm in LA. no idea when i'll get there, poss end of next month. drop email to my whole name @ hotmail if you really want them.
cheers, dude~
Dude- I'll have to take you up on that offer. Did you not like them? Not fit?
ssr - I have looked at the Montreal. They have the Lunaracer 1 midsole. I don't feel its as durable for me as the 2 midsole. They seem to break down weird.
Any other options? Will there be another similar model coming out soon?
Hmmmm, I understand your dilemma. Midsoles are a personal thing.
Lunaracer 3 comes out Jan 2013 and uses the Lunaracer 1 midsole as feedback on it's ride has been very good. Unfortunately this is not great news for you.
Hope you are able to score a LR2 soon.
I practically lived on Ebay last year, and bought all the sz 12 Lunaracer 2s that I could- I managed to get 4, maybe 5 pairs. I could part with one pair. Also an 11.5 pair, seemed just a bit small on a short test run, that's why I moved up to 12.
How soon do you need them? I am working in Afghanistan right now, so if I dropped them in the mail, it would take about 10 to 12 days to get to a US address.
Email me at "my user name" at hot mail, let me know what you think.
By the way, the Lunaracer 2 is the only shoe I have seen with that exact midsole and outsole. All the other varieties (original and re-release of the original, Lunar Vengeance, Lunar Mariah, Lunar Montreal) have the Lunaracer 1 outsole and similar or identical midsole.
As stated before, I can get you a pair of Lunaracer 2s in size 12. I have a good mix of racing flats, so the 3 or 4 sets of LR2s that I would have remaining (after sending you a set) should last me for the forseeable future. I would of course send you a new, unused pair (only tried on with socks, not run in).
As for what you do when these finally do wear out, perhaps a good subsitute to stock up on now would be the Saucony Kinvara. It doesn't seem similar at first glance, but it has a good firm midsole with an arch contour, and a relatively durable outsole, thus the similarity to the Lunaracer 2.
I'll take you up on that. Please send me an email.
LunarFlow also has the LR2 midsole FYI
LunarFlow is not a performance running shoe as it comes from the Nike Sportswear division. The midsole is performance oriented but the upper is completely lifestyle driven.
